After graduating with a BS degree from Cornell Univeristy, I took a leap and traveled half-way around the world. My journey stopped in South Korea, where I've been teaching and inspiring others for over 15 years. During that time, and my curiosity led me to dive into the world of tech. Starting with HTML, CSS, and Javascript on freeCodeCamp.org, I quickly progressed, earning a full-stack developer certification and venturing into Python for personal projects.

My coding journey expanded to include Django, React Native, and a prototype for a delivery-sharing app, though it unfortunately didn't secure funding. I've also dabbled with Raspberry Pi and Linux, enhancing my skills in bash, vim, tmux, and terminal commands. This technical proficiency landed me a role at a startup, where I revamped a codebase, added new features, and debugged in React.js.

Coding for me is about automating tasks, saving time, and optimizing tedious processes. I enjoy devising efficient, accurate solutions for things like PO Sheets, invoices, and reports. Outside of coding, I keep active by running and playing golf, reconnecting with running as a hobby and discovering a passion for golf.
